A socket comprising:
- an outer socket having a substantially cylindrical shape,
- an inner socket having a substantially cylindrical shape and arranged to face an inner periphery of the outer socket;
- an urging member configured to urge the inner socket toward one end of the outer socket;
- and
- a lock/unlock mechanism configured to allow the inner socket positioned at the one end of the outer socket by the urging member to be rotated in a circumferential direction with respect to the outer socket, and to restrict the inner socket displaced toward the other end of the outer socket against an urging force of the urging member from being rotated in the circumferential direction with respect to the outer socket,
- wherein a connection part to be connected with a rotating tool is formed at either one end in an axial direction of the socket, and a fitting part to be connected with a fastener is formed at the other end.
